Local Plan & Related Information
The Purbeck District Local Plan (Revised
Deposit) was published in May 1999 for public
consultation. The representations received were reported to
the Council in December 1999 and Pre-Inquiry Changes were published
for further consultation in February 2000. The Public Inquiry
into the Local Plan started in October 2000 and was completed in
January 2002.
The Inspector´s Report was received on 18 June
2002.
Proposed Modifications to the Plan, as a result of the
Inspector´s Report, were advertised for consultation in
January-February 2003. Further proposed modifications were
advertised for consultation in October-November 2003.
Modification documents are available from the Council or on this
website.
Council in September 2004, considered the remaining
submissions and resolved to make no further changes to the Local
Plan. In November 2004, whilst it acknowledged that for legal
reasons it could not adopt the Plan, Council agreed to publish a
consolidated ´final edition´. See
the local plan page for further detail and
explanation.
It should be noted that while the plan is not adopted (and
therefore no policies have been carried forward), it is a material
consideration in Development Control decisions. However,
where policies have been superseded by National and Regional
Guidance, these would take priority over the Local Plan.
